Paypal API URL : The url to which your users are redirected to for the payment. This should not be changed unless you know what you are doing.

If you want to use the sandbox, you will have to configure your sandbox account on PayPal sandbox website, then, in your sandbox account, you will have to add a buyer and a seller and finally, you will be able to set the seller account of your sandbox account in the paypal plugin options and change the URL in these options to use the sandbox URL: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

The default URL for the production is: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

Your paypal email address : The email you used to register your paypal account on which you will receive the payments from your customers.

Customer address : If you want, you have the possibility to include the billing or shipping address of your customers to the paypal payment engine. That will avoid them the hassle of reentering it on paypal if they don't already have a paypal account. That option is turned on by default.

Address override : If activated, the address specified during the checkout overrides the PayPal member’s stored address. Buyers see the addresses that is passed to PayPal, but they cannot edit them. PayPal does not show addresses if they are invalid or omitted.

No shipping: Based on that option PayPal will display the shipping address form or not:

2 Required -> prompt for shipping address, and require one

1 Yes -> do not prompt for shipping address

0 No -> prompt for shipping address, but do not require one

Allow payment notifications from PayPal : That option should stay on unless you don't want that PayPal confirms automatically the orders on your website so that you can do it manually yourself.

Send details of the order : If activated, all the details of the order will be sent to PayPal. If deactivated, only the full amount of the order will be sent to PayPal.

Enable authorization mode : If activated, the payments won't be processed by PayPal but put "on hold", waiting for you to validate them manually.

Debug : You can activate the debug mode of the paypal payment plugin. If you do so, informations about each notification received from paypal will be logged in the payment log file. You can see and modify the location of this file in the configuration page of HikaShop

Cancel url : The url you want your users to be redirected to when they cancel the order from the paypal interface. By default, they will be redirected to the first step of the checkout process.

Return url : The url you want your users to be redirected to when they finish their payment on the paypal interface. By default, they will be redirected to the after_end page of the checkout process which will thank them for their order.

Paypal header url : You can set here an url for a banner image which will be displayed on top of the payment page on paypal. Note that the image height should not be more than 120px.

Paypal IPs : A list of IPs from which notifications will be processed. It doesn't mean that notifications coming from those IPs are validated automatically. All notifications are automatically validated onto the paypal payment gateway to ensure that the notifications comes from paypal. This is just an additional security measure. Paypal might change or add IPs without notification. When your server receives a notification from another IP than those, you will receive an email automatically to your payment notification address informing you. You can refresh this list by clicking on the link below. If paypal really added new IPs you should see them appear here. Otherwise, if you are sure that the IP from which the notification came from is a valid paypal IP you can add it to the list manually. If the notification came from someone else, it might be an attack attempt (if the payment has not been received on your paypal account for instance), in which case you can ignore it as the system blocked it. Finally, you can always disable this feature by removing all the IPs in the list and saving the paypal payment method options. You will always be able to retrieve the paypal IPs later on to reactivate the feature.

Invalid status : Here, you can select the status to set to an order if the plugin receives a notification from paypal for an order with an amount different from the order total or in a different currency. In that case, we highly recommend you to check your paypal account, the order information, and maybe contact your customer, and decide yourself what to do with the order.

Pending status : Here, you can select the status to set to an order if the plugin receives a pending notification from paypal for an order. A pending notification means that the customer entered his payment information but that paypal could not yet receive the funds. In that case, we highly recommend you to check your paypal account, the order information, and maybe contact your customer, and decide yourself what to do with the order.

Verified status : Here, you can select the status to set to an order if the plugin receives a successful completion notification from paypal for an order.

Return method : In some cases, like when you have troubles receiving payment notifications from PayPal, you might need to disable that option. However, most of the time, you should leave that option turned on.
